This warning was sounded by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) President Witold Banka, even as he expressed confidence in Kenya's doping fight.

Wada officials who had lengthy and separate discussions with athletes, the National Olympic Committee-Kenya, the Sports Ministry, the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (Adak) and President William Ruto during their three days visit to Kenya now want the country to have a zero tolerance to doping to be a perfect model for Africa.

“We want Kenya to establish a team composed of the police, prosecutors, customs and immigration officials, the NIS and the DCI to wage battle against the bastards who are smuggling illegal steroids.
